ICONSMADE

EASY

You can use icons for TONS of stuff!

CV’s

Posters

Presentations

Websites

And the best part is...

They are incredibly

easy to make!

All you need is…

PowerPoint

Or any programme that lets you

use shapes!

Because all icons are just

made up from shapes

And I’ll show you how we can create

impressive personalised icons TODAY!

Today we’ll look at:

This is useful for a home page

icon for websites or for home

contact details on your CV

To make this we will use a

familiar tool…

This is built into any PowerPoint

programme and I’m sure other

programmes have something

similar to use!

Select a rectangle with curved edges

STEP 1

Copy this shape and place it slightly

right but leaving a gap in-between

STEP 2

Create another rectangle and place

it on top of the others

STEP 3

The shapes we are using have a ‘fill

colour’ but no ‘outline colour’ …

IMPORTANT TO NOTE!

Otherwise we would notice where we

placed shaped on top of others!

Place a triangle on top of the shape

(arrange as appropriate)

STEP 4

Add a curved rectangle and rotate so it

fits level with the rest of the shape

STEP 5

Copy this shape and rotate as necessary

STEP 6

Add a circle as send it backwards so it

sits behind the house

STEP 7

Give the circle an outline

(the same colour as your house)

STEP 8

Group all your shapes together so they

can be moved easily

STEP 9

Now you can change the colour of your

home icon to fit in with your work

YOU’RE FINISHED!

It really is that easy!

If there is anything in particular you

want help to create just let me know

and I will give it a go!
